If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. There is a large title change snipe over the original title printed on the poster, which was "Reprieve" (the movie's title was changed as it was being released, so they did not have time to re-print the paper, but I don't know that it actually played anywhere as "Reprieve").
